Baljaffray Play Area

Two separate sections make this one actually work for families with kids of different ages — the younger ones aren’t getting bowled over by bigger kids, which you don’t always get in urban playgrounds. There’s a decent mix of slides, swings, and climbing structure to keep them occupied for a good stretch. The grass field alongside is handy if yours just wants to run about or kick a ball around. It’s kept clean, parking is right there, and you’ve got shops and cafes close enough that you’re not stuck if someone needs a snack or a coffee.
